I'm now listening to strawberry fields...which I've been singing all week long becaue of you.One more of your vintage finds post, about old books belonging to others, you know I think it's magical!

And about scoubidous I never learnt to do anything with them when I was a child (more than I am now) but I've had them in my mouth braces.And seeing them in that amazing package you sent me made me smile :)Big kisses Nadine, you're great!

oh is there anything more intriguing than a fabo end-paper? I love that little rush you get when you crack open a book and find delightful little illustrations inside the front cover. I like all your pics - the last ones have the look of lino prints don't they?

beautiful! i remember some illustrated stories from my childhood - they are in print again now, but with different pictures, and the stories are just not as good and magical as they were with the old illustrations.

hello thank you for your very nice comment about my blog...yes that was our house on the header. We sold it a year ago and still all miss it dearly. We are currently renovating an old corner store while we are living in it so we are in the midst of renovations just like you.
